Dan Miller, Macworld


> Name Mangler remains the more powerful tool, thanks in large part to its Advanced mode. If you’re a power user, and you’re willing to put in the time to learn that mode, Name Mangler will be your renamer of choice. Even if you aren’t, you may prefer it for the relative compactness of its interface and its fast, efficient performance.

Chambers Daily


> Let me just preface this article with the fact that Apple is doing some extremely innovative things when it comes to education right now. The Device Enrollment Program and Managed Distribution are incredible advancements when you look at what it takes to scale iOS for very large deployments. Fraser and I have been discussing the planning behind deploying iOS on our podcast and these tools are certainly important. The purpose of this article is to look at what's left for Apple to do given the current state of iOS software and hardware.

*** Book World: ‘Updike’ By Adam Begley ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/book-world-updike-by-adam-begley/2014/04/16/87e1cd48-c0d5-11e3-b574-f8748871856a_story.html?wprss=rss_books>
Michael Dirda, Washington Post


> There’s no subtitle to this biography of writer John Updike (1932-2009), perhaps because the only logical one is a rather old-fashioned phrase: “His Life and Works.” Recognizing how relentlessly Updike’s fiction draws on its author’s own experiences, Adam Begley structures his book as a kind of double helix with two interlaced narrative strands. In one, he provides the facts of Updike’s 76 years in the world, in the other he shows how this most writerly of writers used his work to probe and reflect on nearly every aspect of his life.
